Nodejs Protractor + Jasmine + JUnitXmlReporter runs the test but without waiting for the browser

Question

Im doing end to end testing of a Angular website using protractor, but wanted to export the results to a file that Jenkins can read (JUnitXmlReporter), so for this to work I need to do a "simple change" to my protractor config file on the "onPrepare":

exports.config = {
  // Do not start a Selenium Standalone sever - only run this using chrome.
  framework: 'jasmine',
  // Capabilities to be passed to the webdriver instance.
  capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome'
  },

  specs: [
    './test1.js',
    './test2.js'
  ], 
  // Options to be passed to Jasmine-node.
  jasmineNodeOpts: {
    showColors: true,
    isVerbose: true
  },
  onPrepare: function() {
      var jasmineReporters = require('jasmine-node-reporter-fix');
      jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(
             new jasmineReporters.JUnitXmlReporter('protractor_output', true, true, 'testresults.e2e.');
  }
};

but once I add this "onPrepare" code, all the test run without waiting for the browser to render the html. If I remove the "onPrepare" code, all the test will start working as expected, but no files generated for jenkins.

Any ideas whats wrong?

You may need to wait for the browser's promise.

onPrepare: function() {
  var jasmineReporters = require('jasmine-node-reporter-fix');
  var capsPromise = browser.getCapabilities();
  capsPromise.then(function (caps) {
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(
      new jasmineReporters.JUnitXmlReporter(
        'protractor_output', true, true, 'testresults.e2e.');
  }
}

That said, if you are using Protractor, then you may need to call the JUnitXmlReporter off the jasmine object, not jasmineReporters. I'm not using node-jasmine or jasmine-node-reporter-fix, so I can't speak to how the reporter gets exported, but on "jasmine-reporters":"~1.0.0" the reporter was still attached to the jasmine object.
